750 million Facebook photos uploaded on New Year

Creates a new record for Facebook

If you needed more proof of Facebook’s growing popularity, here it is. Over the New Year s weekend, Facebook users uploaded over 750 million photos. This little tidbit of information comes from Facebook’s marketing director (and founder Mark Zuckerberg s sister) Randi Zuckerberg through one of her tweets. To put things into perspective, over a 100 million images are uploaded on Facebook on an average day. This goes to show how important a part have social networking websites such as Facebook become of people’s lives. These days, it seems as if photos are taken with the sole intention of sharing them over Facebook, instead of the way it was before, where people took pictures so they can look back at those memories at a later date and cherish them again. Ah, those were the days.
